Which of the following is an AWS best practice for managing an AWS (CLF-C02)
Which of the following is an AWS best practice for managing an AWS account root user?
A. Keep the root user password with the security team.
B. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for the root user.
C. Create an access key for the root user.
D. Keep the root user password consistent for compliance purposes.
Solution
Correct answer: B. Enable multi-factor authentication (MFA) for the root user.
Enabling MFA adds an extra layer of security to the root user account, which is critical for protecting your AWS resources. The other options are not considered best practices. For example, creating an access key for the root user (option C) is discouraged, and keeping the root user password consistent (option D) is not a good security practice.
